User Story Generator

A user story is a simple description of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability. It follows the format: "As a [type of user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]." User stories help teams understand the value of features and keep the focus on user needs.

A good user story should be:

• Independent - can be developed separately
• Negotiable - details can be discussed
• Valuable - delivers value to stakeholders
• Estimable - can be sized relatively
• Small - fits within an iteration
• Testable - has clear acceptance criteria

Acceptance criteria are specific conditions that a user story must satisfy to be accepted as complete. They:

• Define when a story is complete
• Set clear expectations
• Help with testing
• Prevent scope creep
• Guide implementation

Generated user stories should be:

• Reviewed and refined with your team
• Customized to your specific context
• Used as a starting point for discussion
• Integrated into your backlog
• Validated with stakeholders
